The Seahawks will return home to take on the underachieving Carolina Panthers on Sunday night. The Seahawks are coming off a bad loss to Tampa Bay, scoring only 5 points on the road. The Panthers might be a better team than their record suggests. Five off their losses have been by 3 points or less.
